DM 8 Sustainable Transport for New Development
To support and promote the use of sustainable modes of travel to development sites the Council will:
- require all significant new development, including schools, workplaces and residential developments to develop and implement a robust and effective Travel Plan
- prioritise the access needs of pedestrians and cyclists in the design of new developments and protect and enhance pedestrian and cycle access routes to, and where possible, through development sites, including the protection or enhancement of the strategic cycling and walking networks, as shown on the Proposals Map
- require new development to provide facilities on-site for cyclists as appropriate, including showers, lockers and secure, convenient cycle parking, in accordance with minimum standards
- require development to make a financial contribution towards sustainable transport improvements and initiatives in line with the Planning Obligations SPD/CIL
